Hip replacement is one of the most transformative procedures in orthopedic surgery, offering lasting relief from the bone-on-bone pain of end-stage hip arthritis. When hip pain limits your ability to walk, sleep, work, or enjoy the activities you love — and conservative treatments no longer help — hip replacement restores function and quality of life with predictable, durable results.
Dr. Cooper performs both conventional and robotic-assisted total hip replacement. Using the Mako robotic system, he creates a precise pre-operative plan from your CT scan and executes it with sub-millimeter accuracy in the OR — optimizing implant position, leg length, and joint stability in ways manual techniques cannot consistently achieve. The result is a more natural-feeling hip, lower dislocation risk, and greater long-term implant durability.
Most patients are walking the day of surgery and return home within one to two days. Dr. Cooper's team provides comprehensive rehabilitation support to guide you from surgery through full recovery and back to the activities that matter most to you.
Primary joint reconstruction is the treatment of choice for patients suffering from degenerative joint disease that has failed conservative treatment. Total hip arthroplasty is the reconstruction, or replacement, of the hip joint. This is often done for those with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or avascular necrosis. In a total joint arthroplasty, the damaged joint is removed and then replaced with an artificial joint. The objective of total joint replacement is to relieve the pain in the joint caused by the damaged cartilage. Since stiffness is a common symptom associated with joint disease, having one’s joint replaced will allow a better range of motion.
